Freytag Corporation's variable overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor-hours. The company has established the following
Aleks04 [339]

Solution

Given :

Standard direct labor hours = 4.6 hours per unit

Standard variable overhead rate = $ 4.60 per hour

Actual direct labor hours worked = 9400

Actual variable overhead incurred = $ 44,940

Number of units of N06C = 2100 units

Therefore, output absorbed, V.OH = SHAO x budget OH/hr

                                                    = (2100 units x 4.6 per unit) x $ 4.60 per hour

                                                    = $ 44,436

The Input Absorbed V.OH = actual hours x budgeted OH/hour

                                            = 9400 x $ 4.60 per hour

                                            = $ 43,240

Therefore, the variable overhead rate variance is = $ 43,240 - $ 44,436

                                                                                  = $ 1196 (U)

If the Fed carries out an open market operation and sells U.S. government securities, as long as the federal funds interest rate
ad-work [718]

Answer:

rises; decreases

Explanation:

When the Fed sells US securities, it is engaging in a contractionary monetary policy. This means that they are trying to cool down the economy and lower inflation rate by reducing the money supply. This will lead to an increase in the federal funds rate and the whole economy's interest rates.

Since the Fed absorbs money from the banks and other investors, the quantity of banks' reserves decreases, which leads to less loans and higher interest rates charged.

Comet Company is owned equally by Pat and his sister Pam, each of whom hold 100 shares in the company. Comet redeems 50 of Pam's
forsale [732]

Answer:

Comet's E&P will decrease by $50,000 due to the exchange.

Explanation:

50 of Pam's shares are worth 50 x $1,000 = $50,000, since the corporation is redeeming them, it will do so by decreasing its earnings and profits (retained earnings account).

Generally when larger corporations buy back stocks (AKA treasury stocks), they will credit cash and debit treasury stocks, but since Pam's stocks are being retired, they are not going to be held as treasury stocks, therefore E&P must decrease.
